A reporter at my previous workplace, KPCC, was shot in the neck with a rubber bullet on Saturday.

It's unfortunate that it's gotten to this point for people to take police brutality at least somewhat seriously.

I'm mistaken for being pro-police and anti-BLM merely because I'm against the looting and rioting. I've always had the stance that the police in their current form are state-sanctioned street gangs.

I recently read that if you tend to think, "it's a shame that black people are being killed by cops like this, but the rioting and looting MUST stop," perhaps you should consider thinking more like, "it's a shame that there is rioting and looting, but black people being killed by cops like this MUST stop."

Seriously. It's really telling how a few people rioting = all protesters bad!

But you see cops being abusive and "It's just a few bad apples!"

Anything to quell the cognitive dissonance.
